The Server Inventory component of Novell ZENworks Linux Management allows you to collect hardware and software inventory information from local and remote servers or workstations of your enterprise. This inventory information is scanned and stored in a database that can be accessed by the ZENworks administrator.

The Inventory scanning capability of ZENworks Linux Management performs the following tasks:

Stores the inventory information in a database that can be accessed by the ZENworks administrator.

Rolls up the hardware inventory data from the database to the ZENworks 7 Server Management database or the ZENworks 7 Desktop Management Inventory database so you can view the inventory data at the enterprise level.
